History<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Student’s at Bud’s Emporium in the Administration Building, circa 1960-1966<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

When the Norfolk division was established in 1930, there were no dining options on campus for the students who commuted to campus. Seeing that there was a need for a place on campus for students to gather and eat, “Bud” Paul established a snack bar in the Old Larchmont School<\/a><\/strong> in 1934. With the growth of campus following World War II, more space was needed for the snack bar, so in 1945, Bud’s moved into a large location in the Administration Building, now <\/strong>Alfred B. Rollins, Jr. Hall<\/a>, and Bud continued to run the eatery until his death in 1948. In addition to serving food and drinks, Bud’s was also a popular place for students to take a break between classes, have a smoke break, and listen to music on a jukebox. In 1956, Bud’s moved into the new Science Building, now William B. Spong, Jr. Hall<\/a><\/strong>, and would remain there until it closed shortly before Webb University Center opened in 1966. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
